roxyMy sister called me tonight. We talked for an hour.
It's the first time ever that she's called me since she was moved to assisted living. Not only did she call me, we talked for an hour! Usually our conversations consist of her telling me she's tired , I love you bye--but tonight, we talked about the kids and our friends and we laughed a lot, a whole lot...wow. It was like a miracle. And it made me realize I was being an asshole. so , yeah, it was a beautiful thing, and it made me happy.
Sure, she asked me every five minutes what we were talking about, but here's the cool part, she was aware that she was forgetting. She said she had a swiss cheese memory, like Sam Becket, lol! it's funny sometimes what she does remember. She couldn't believe her child was 20, not 8 years old. Sounds sad, but we made each other laugh about it. Ah well. It was nice. It's temporary but still, really nice!
So anyway--beautiful thing part two! let's see what other beautiful things I can come up with! *grin*
